<p>Unbelievablem & JL50ish... yes, I know, we have a Cornell alum in the home, so we've heard lots of stories about the upstate NY winters and the Lake Effect snow! If Geneseo were only on Long Island!</p>
<p>CountingDown.... >>> S1 made his first visit to UChicago in a January snowstorm. Called me from the quad and said, "I could spend four years here." Guess where he is today...though he has asked for warm, waterproof boots to take back after Thanksgiving. <<<</p>
<p>LOL... Glad to hear that it is working out for your son... My son can be a bit "scattered" at time, so he realized that he would quickly lose any gloves, hats, wool scarves, etc, that he would need for NY winters.</p>
<p>BTW... he may need two pairs of boots... An extra pair to wear when first set is still wet when he needs to go out again. If your area doesn't have such boots readily available, LandsEnd and LLBean can be good online resources. You can order a couple of dif sizes (if necessary) and send back the ones that don't fit. </p>
<p>Again, glad to hear that he's happy at U Chicago - awesome school!</p>
